The event's focus on the LGBTQIAP+ community and individuals with disabilities reflects a commitment to inclusivity and representation, paving the way for a more equitable and understanding society. By shining a spotlight on these marginalized communities, the conference seeks to challenge stereotypes, break down barriers, and promote acceptance and respect for all, and most importantly "unothering the othered". 

As the date draws near, anticipation is building for what promises to be a transformative and inspiring event. With Revel Harris and Zakhele Mgobhozi at the helm, the I AM ME conference is poised to leave a lasting impact on all who attend, igniting a spark of change and empowerment that will resonate long after the final session concludes.
